New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions will continue but it may permit a state-level common entrance test (CET) for admission to government medical colleges only.
However, this will be subject to the stand to be spelt out by the central government on Monday.
Making it clear that there would be no exemption for private medical colleges from NEET, a bench of Justice Anil R. Dave, Justice Shiva Kirti Singh and Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel indicated that it may permit CET for government medial college admissions after Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar said state education ministers were slated to meet central authorities during the weekend on the issue.
“They want to resolve the issue one way or the other,” he told the court. (IANS)
